Abstract: In this work it is shown that the exact plastic potential for porous solids with von Mises perfectly plastic matrix containing spherical cavities should involve a very specific coupling between the mean stress and the third ...

Abstract: This paper shows that ice interaction forces and energies can be related to the characteristics of ice such as strength, stiffness and rheological properties on the one hand, and to the ...

Abstract: Accurate estimation of the soil thickness distribution in steepland drainage basins is essential for understanding ecosystem and subsurface response to infiltration. One important aspect of this characterization is assessing ...
